Bazoer was named to the TOW last week for a single play during a game when he was rubbish otherwise. Can you point to a single thing Klassen did other than the pass to Gudelj that set up the first goal ? :confused.gif: Regarding Van der Hoorn , may I suggest that you'd watch the building of our fir...

Very strange individual ratings IMO.
Klaassen had a decent game and was named in the Eredivisie team of the week.
Van der Hoorn was very good, commited only two fouls, but each of them resulted in a yellow card, very unlucky.

I'm expecting 3-1 for Ajax. With one / penalty.

On second thought :
Cillessen
van Rhijn-van der Hoorn-Veltman-Dijks
Schöne-Bazoer-Klassen
El Ghazi-Milik-Fischer

Cillessen
Riedewald-van der Hoorn-Veltman-Dijks
Schöne-Bazoer-Klassen
El Ghazi-Milik-Fischer

Let's try this and kick their ass !

@Orange it's like we don't have a midfield. The ball goes from defense direct to the wing every time. Have to try to get the ball into the middle, but there has been no attempt to do that. Precisely, but we have Klaassen, Bazoer, Gudelj, Sinkgraven, Schöne, Serero. Our midfield is strictly defendin...

I'd say 0-3 for Ajax !

For those who understand french, there's an interesting book about J.C. published in September : « Johan Cruijff, génie pop et despote », by Chérif Ghemmour. The author is a French journalist specialist in Dutch football (rare and valuable :biggthumpup.gif: ). I interviewed him for my fansite : http...

Let's hope El Ghazi will be back soon.

In the past, there have been decisions going for either side. Remember that infamous dive my Nikos Machlas? It wasn't a penalty but won Ajax the game. The following year, it was a dubious penalty in reverse, and feyenoord won. So yesterday, Ajax had a wrong decision which cost them the game, and in...

The referee was terrible and biased. He should be banned by the KNVB.

By the way, I just watched the video over and over again. It seems that Dijks was right. There shouldn't have been a corner kick in the first place.

We missed Milik badly.
But our midfield and defense looked good.
My prediction : we'll go through (draw Fenerbhace, win/Celtic, win/Molde, with Molde getting not more than 1 point in the remaining games).

Tom_ schreef:The squad is weak

Disagreee. It's just that some of our best players are on the bench.

Simply embarrassing. Never seen such an atmosphere at the Arena since the Wouters days ...

IMO we avoided defeat only because Frank decided to rectify his initial mistakes. Playing without Milik proved to be nonsense. Since the beginning of the season, several players have constantly performed below par : Gudelj, Sinkgraven. Our defense is weak. I still think Van Rhijn is better than Tete...

ADO were crap as usual. I'm concerned about Dijks who I believe is currently our best defender.

We are eliminated because of a poor defence and weird coaching, plain simple. Why did Frank decide to play Tete instead of Van Rhijn ? Why didn't Heintinga play at all ? Every 5 goals conceded to Rapid is due to defensive blunders. We cannot continue with a central defence with Riedewald and Veltman...

Goodbye, and good luck !

Schöne still alive and well ...

We lost because all our players played below par yesterday, except Cillessen, Sinkgraven, and Klaassen. Because we did not play with the right attitude, defenders endlessly passing the ball to defenders in our own half. Because there is no stability in the team, basis changing every now and then. Be...

I'd play van der Hoorn instead of Viergever.

Only one attempt on target in the whole game. We need to do better, much better.

Like against Excelsior, our fullbacks, Boilesen and Van Rhijn, were the only ones to move forward.

For the return game, I'd forget about Schöne, and bring Sinkgraven and van der Hoorn in.

We failed to create chances. Things were better when Zivcovic came in.

Schöne is over the hill. He should be on the bench.
